Bright copper with a medium dense head. Malty aroma with fruit, bread, and some earthiness. Strong malt flavor with subdued hops bitterness and a slightly sweet finish. Well-balanced but without much acidity.

A slightly hazed Orange with a tan head. Balanced scent with sweet malts and Piney hops. Very tasty, bitter yes but not overwhelmingly so. Well balanced, nice malt flavor up front, a biting hoppy middle. A very good IPA. One of the better CA brews I’ve had this trip.

Pours copper/orange with off-white head. Hoppy and citrus aroma, with a solid hop presence in the taste, coupled with fruit, some spices. Medium palate.

Pours a rather pretty orange with a very slightly yellowish head. This smells of fried eggs and oranges. The taste is fairly bitter toffee. There is also a strange burnt bacon note. The body is medium with plenty of carbonation. An unbalanced and weird beer.

Poured a hazy copper color with a small off white head. aroma of malt and earthy hops. Flavor of caramel and a touch of bubble gum with a moderate bitter finish. Medium body. I found this to be better than the rating average and will be drinking this again.

Bottle: Hazy, gold color with a grapefruit/hoppy nose.Citrus-hop flavor with nice lingering hop bitterness. Lacks a little punch but definitely a nice beer.

amber with a medium sized off-white head. faint citrus hop aroma. medium to light bodied and midly hoppy with some citrus hops, and some earthy malts, . a decent beer, but as an IPA it’s lacking.

Pours a somewhat opaque reddish/orange color. Sweet floral aroma. Mildly hoppy. Flavor is fairly malty up front. Hops do kick in midway through and give a bit of a bitter kick towards the finish. Very smooth, easy drinking IPA. Good little kick as well with the 7.1%. No alcohol present in the flavor though.
